clock be as advertise and easy to use , unless you use the alarm . the volume of the alarm make it useless to I and the on\/off switch be very tight and hard to manipulate . addition : after notice the word -lrb- kitchen -rrb- after the description of the clock I review earlier , I look at the clock describe on the Amazon web page that I originally order from and realize that the clock I receive be a different model than the one I order . the picture on Amazon 's web page have the control on the top of the clock and the alarm indicator light on the top left of the face . the clock I receive have the control on the back of the clock and the alarm indicator light on the bottom-right of the clock face . this might account for the too-soft alarm volume on the clock I receive , as a kitchen clock would not need the alarm volume that a bedroom alarm would . I do not know if this be just a design change or a different model but something be different .
